How Your Garden Could Benefit From An Old Storage Tub
By ERIKA DALE
If you have a potting bench and would like to keep your workspace cleaner while also saving leftover soil for the next time you repot, add storage tubs underneath its wire surface.
As shared by TikToker @mamabeartalk8, this hack requires an outdoor wire shelving unit with two to three tiers that can fit a heavy-duty plastic storage bin on the second shelf.
Alternatively, use a potting bench with a slatted, mesh, or wire top, or DIY one with coated wire shelves supported by cinder blocks on each end. Then, place the bin below it.
The bin will then function as a storage unit for the soil and as a spill-catcher for any overflow soil while you pot your plant, preserving the extra soil for the next potting.
